I became a mom for the first time in my early 40s, in 2005. My children were adopted, and while I usually don't announce that at the get-go, I think I need to say it now because throughout my blog I don't use the kids' full names. There's J who was born in 1997 and K who was born in 2002.

This blog is where I will share the ups and downs of being a work-at-home mom and also, more importantly, the things my kids do because really, this is about them.

Family - it's where your story begins.

The missing hoodie

Apparently last Thursday my child took his green hoodie to school, took it off, left it on the playground, went back into his classroom, came home..... without it. Friday he was to find it and bring it home, but apparently the playground ladies found it in a puddle and it was all wet. They said he couldn't bring it home all wet, so he'd have to wait over the weekend.

I asked him about it yesterday, if he'd gone to find it, and he said the playground ladies wouldn't let him have it. Hmmm..... why would that be?? My husband thinks he's lying. He is six. He tends to fib. I told him if he didn't bring it home today (Tuesday) that he wouldn't be able to go to scouts on Wednesday. He LOVES scouts. I told him to tell his teacher that he needs to bring home the missing hoodie. We'll see what happens.
